Professional Training
We run Professional Training courses throughout the year.
These are aimed at people who may come into contact with bereaved children through their work, or for those wanting to specifically volunteer and support children and young people with one-to-one support. We often have professionals from a wide range of occupations on our training, palliative care professionals, teachers, social care professionals, pastoral care professionals and many more.
We can also offer a variety of training packages in Childhood Bereavement & Loss to suit you and your organisation.
These bespoke training packages are very modestly priced and can range from one-hour sessions to full day training events. We can adapt training sessions to meet your specific needs and interests ie. supporting children in foster care, supporting children anticipating a death etc. For more details and a quotation please call the office on 01209 210624 or email us.
